In the kingdom of Ornon, a prophecy surrounds the birth of twenty royal sons. Yet only one is destined to survive. The twentieth son grows up knowing that his existence is tied to a deadly struggle for power, inheritance, and destiny.
As rival factions maneuver for control of the realm, the young prince must navigate treachery, warfare, and ancient mysteries. His journey takes him far beyond the safety of the royal court into a world filled with strange creatures, hidden enemies, and powerful forces that threaten the future of Ornon itself.
What begins as a fight for survival gradually becomes a struggle to fulfill a destiny that may reshape an entire kingdom.
EugeneBookstore Summary
The Twentieth Son of Ornon is classic 1980s epic fantasy, written during the era when readers eagerly sought sprawling adventures in the tradition of Tolkien, Eddings, and Feist. Mike Sirota created a richly imagined fantasy world centered on dynastic conflict, prophecy, and heroic adventure.
The novel offers a fast-paced blend of royal intrigue, quests, battles, and coming-of-age themes that appeal to readers who enjoy traditional fantasy with strong world-building and clear heroic narratives.
Collector Notes
This is the opening volume of the Ornon Trilogy and is generally considered the key book for collectors of the series. Zebra fantasy paperbacks from the 1980s often had relatively modest print runs compared to larger fantasy publishers, making complete trilogy sets increasingly difficult to assemble.
Collectors of vintage 1980s fantasy, particularly Zebra Books titles, frequently seek this volume as the entry point into Sirota’s best-known fantasy series.
